Sally says flat for everything, because if there's fluid in the egg and you have the lowest dip facing up, then gravity pulls the liquid down and the chick can breathe when it pips. Upright and tilted there's still a chance it will aspirate fluid.

Go into your profile and turn them all off. That's what I do.

Camping, are the male Honas larger than the females? kind of looks that way with the chicks, but can't really tell.

I can't get the emails off.

Wish, there are definitely two sizes. I THINK it might have something to do with hatching pullet eggs, OR it might be genetic. Gyda is still much smaller than all the other hens. I was thinking today about keeping the small ones and working on a "bantam" line.

In your profile, find your "preferences" and you will need to UNcheck a box for getting email notifications... but it will turn them ALL off.

Thats what Lisa was upset about, I talked her into buying CCLs from the guy I bought from and half of them were pullet eggs. She says they will be small. So now I wonder if thats what helped the bantams along just keep hatching pullet egg.
